Meet Mr. Haimov — third-generation locksmith in Vienna
When you call Schlüsseldienst-Sofort you reach Mr. Haimov directly — not a faceless call center somewhere in another country. He runs the family business in its third generation, has more than 25 years of hands-on experience and still drives to every job personally.
That is unusual in Vienna's locksmith market. Many "locksmith hotlines" in Google ads are dispatch operators that forward your call to unknown subcontractors — often with shockingly high invoices. Schlüsseldienst-Sofort works the opposite way: one shop, one master, fixed prices, full responsibility.
Mr. Haimov is a member of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKO), registered with the trade authority under GISA 25683219, and certified for the trades of locksmith, safe technician and security installer. English is spoken fluently — convenient for tourists, expats, exchange students and international residents.

After a break-in — what to do next
Stay calm. First call the police on 133, then call us on +43 660 5426200. We arrive within 15–40 minutes, secure your door and document everything for your insurance.
A break-in is stressful — especially if you are far from home as a tourist or new to Vienna as an expat. We handle the technical part so you can focus on what really matters: filing the report and informing your insurance.
Emergency boarding
If the frame or door is destroyed we board it up temporarily on the same call — your apartment is locked again the same evening.
Damaged cylinder replacement
Any cylinder that has been drilled, broken or manipulated is replaced with a new high-security cylinder including 3 fresh keys.
Insurance documentation
Invoice contains every part, every labor minute and a description of damage — exactly what Austrian insurers (Wiener Städtische, Generali, UNIQA, Allianz, etc.) ask for.
Optional security upgrade
We recommend additional locks, crossbars and reinforced strike plates — quoted before installation, never billed as a surprise.
Payment & Discounts
Simple, transparent and fair — exactly the way an Austrian family business should be.
